A case report of atypical coarctation of the aortic arch with thoracic aortic aneurysm

A 30-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of the abnormal shadow on chest X ray film and paralysis of right fingers. The preoperative aortogram and DSA showed atypical coarctation of the aortic arch with thoracic aortic aneurysm. We successfully performed extra-anatomical bypass with a 14 mm Cooley low porosity Ducron graft between ascending aorta and discending aorta. Her postoperative course was uneventful and discharged one month after the operation.
